SOTS Races?

[Mansen]

I've noticed an alarming lack of friendly and dependable insect races in the base game (and the extended mod) - has anyone made anything like the Hivers? (and the other SOTS races)

I'm poking at the game files at a friends house who has Legends and the Extended mod and it seems to be ... fairly involving (Making a race)

The insects are friendly and dependable enough. It is just a question of who you are.

So the personality traits are purely an AI behavior system? If I choose to play one of the aggressive and undependable Insectoids, the AI won't judge me based on my preset personality but how I play?

That's great - No need for a new race then. [8D]

Long ago I started making a Sots mod. I got as far as making about 30 pic files of Human ships from screenshots I took in game. But boy did it get tedious.

The insect species in game like other insects...are neutral to some species, and hate others. This is the same for every species in game. If you are a human empire, the bugs are never really going to like you, but you might convince them to be civil.

I don't want to give away any spoilers, but as you play the game and see the story, you will learn why it is what it is.

Bit late for that - I made the thread two weeks ago. [:D]

Hey, someone bumped it up. I didn't look at when it was started, just when it was last active. I'm oblivious to some things that way. [;)]
